MANILA, Philippines (1st UPDATE) - Plunder and malversation complaints were filed on Tuesday against former President and now Pampanga 2nd District Rep. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo and several allies for alleged misuse of Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) funds.
In his complaint, former Solicitor General Frank Chavez accused Arroyo, former Foreign Affairs Secretary Alberto Romulo, former Health Secretary Francisco Duque III and former OWWA Administrator Virgilio Angelo of "purposely and systematically orchestrated diversion and/or misuse of the OWWA fund, financing questionable acquisitions by several Philippine diplomatic posts in the Mid East, the humanitarian assistance to Iraq, and the reelection bid of CGMA [Congresswoman Gloria Macapagal Arroyo]."
